Pitchers and catchers have reported and now it is time to flag a few situations worth watching in spring training where roles may be won or lost in a few situations. Here are five such situations where you should pay close attention, particularly early in spring training, starting in Atlanta.

ATL           Sv Hd IP xERA WHIP  K%  K-BB% HR/9 BPV  $  ADP
===========   == == == ==== ==== ==== ===== ==== === === ===
W.Smith (L)   26 17 73 3.41 1.11  33    25   1.9 151  10 249
C.Martin       6 19 65 3.12 1.00  28    25   1.0 167   3 418

These are elite...
